mileage may vary !  ( as they say )
:->
when i got my ( cheapo ! - but new  ) VGA to use with my IIci  ( i'd
inherited a 13'' B&W apple monitor with it )  the firm i bought the VGA
from included an adaptor in the box , 10 DIP , it didn't work  with the
IIci  ( no matter what settings i tried )  . Firm claimed  mistake and
swapped with 6 DIP - hey presto , colour ..
when i got this PPC also got a 10 DIP , based on experience .
hence my statement .
;->

i mapped out the through connections of the 10 DIP for an ICPUG article -
going to get the 6 DIP out of safekeeping and map it as well  RSN ....
